Case Study

Name: Can

Age: 21 years old

Country of origin: Antalya on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey.

Programme: Geomatic Engineering

Overview

I have been studying Geomatic Engineering at Ondokuz Mayis University (OMU) since 2008. This year is my final year.

OMU has a big campus, situated on Samsun’s hill in front of the Black Sea. There are lots of social complexes for students like swimming pools, tennis courts, cafeterias, etc. and there are also social student communities (photography, traveling, aviation, mountaineering, etc.). I’m a member of the aviation club. We organize parachute jumping, paragliding, model airplane courses and all of them are free for students. This means that students have the possibility to follow plenty of hobbies during their free time.

Several foreign students also study here. They come here through the student exchange programs or youth projects. OMU has strong international relations service with lots of partner universities abroad. For example, I went to University of Ljubljana in Slovenia within the Erasmus Exchange program on my 3rd year of study. I stayed there 10 months. It was a great opportunity for me. This experience is opening me to international employment.

Samsun is the biggest city of the Black Sea coast. Here is good for student life. There is a nice beach and lots of cafes, bars around the beach. Only problem is the weather of Samsun for me. Too many days are cloudy. But everywhere is forest and we can find lots of natural beauties around the Black Sea. It’s good for hiking and outdoor sports.
